Web Page Optimization is a critical marketing activity that combines search engine optimization (SEO) and website usability to ensure that your website continuously improves as the marketplace evolves. Web Page Optimization occurs on an ongoing basis on existing websites to help websites avoid staying static and uninteresting to customers. Web Page Optimization is designed to accomplish the following:

  • Your business has an increasing amount of organic traffic because customers are finding your website via search engines and social media;
  • Your customers increasingly interact with you when they visit your website (ie. “helping your customer further down the conversion funnel“);
  • Your website is a thriving, continuously improving channel for sales, leads and signups.

What types of services are included? Web Page Optimization is a rigorous regimen of optimization which involves ongoing testing and improvement of your website’s front-end user interface, web content and back-end technical structure. Core disciplines include:

  • Website Usability: Optimizing how your customers interact with your web pages and improving the user experience to drive more interaction (signups, leads, sales, etc.).
  • Website Design: Optimizing the layout, look and feel of your web pages to determine which designs maximize interaction with your customers while maintaining the integrity of your brand. (Sometimes “science” proves that the prettiest design is not always the most effective)
  • Content Strategy: Researching, mapping and developing web content – copy, media, art, photos – that will be relevant in search engines, appealing to your customers and drive customer interaction with your company.
  • Conversion Funnel Optimization: Metric analysis of the lifetime and recurring value of offers, conversion channels and follow-on remarketing and optimization of each conversion path on the website.

What are the benefits of Web Page Optimization? Web Page Optimization delivers ongoing benefits that impact success across all online marketing initiatives. Benefits include:

  • Increased leads and sales from web traffic;
  • More free website traffic from search engines and social media (often collectively referred to as “Earned Media“);
  • Increased success rate of each visit to your website;
  • Improved return on investment from advertising as website conversion rates increase;
  • Superior website user experience for your customers;
  • Guarantee customers see the most compelling messaging and design on each web page;
  • Obtain and improve upon the quantifiable value of each visit to your website;
  • Cost-effective website improvement without the need to constantly do full redesigns.

Web Page Optimization is a key activity for businesses looking to gain a competitive advantage in online marketing while making sure that they provide the best user experience possible to their customers.
